For those who've played Chrono Trigger before, there's a part in the game where you're asked to hold down the L and R buttons, and then press A to activate a machine. When I did it, it didnt work i'm guessing is because of my keyboard. So I thought maybe doing a key combination would work though I've never used it. So I tried it and failed.

Here's the key comb I did for holding down L and R then pressing A, please tell me what I did wrong and how I can fix it. I'm using Zsnes 1.36 I think, the latest one with net play enabled.

L press+release R press+release A

For a key comb, you need for all three buttons pressed at the same time. Obviously your listed combo would fail.

you need to call out to Lucca's mom to get her attention and save her from being injured by the machine. her name is LARA.

it's possible without using key combinations in zsnes. you just have to type L, A, R, A (snes buttons) real fast and in proper sequence. you have less than 5 secs to do it. make a savestate just before the event and redo from there if you fail.

Ah sorry, I got the press only and press + release ones mixed up.

I thought it might be easier to just set a key combination for holding L + R and then pressing A manualy, though it didnt work. This is the keycombination I did for it:

L Press only R Press only

With press only the buttons will remain pressed untill I press another key right? I'm still having trouble with this. In the gui.txt the examples showed the key combination having a 2 frame delay after some keys, though I'm not sure whats the significance of this is for eiether, or if it would be any different if you'd use second delays instead.

If I have L press only R press only A press only that means L R A pressed at the same time right? I set a key combination like this for LRA to be pressed down at the same time and I still have trouble with it.

Sorry for forgetting to read your post tikbalang, but I didnt hear anything about that part in the game, so you might be talking about something else.

instead of doing a combo, just set all the buttons to the same key, press it, then switch them back.

I'm simply offended that my link wasn't even taken seriously. I'm not going to further waste my time.

I've read the link but I still have problems, sorry for being slow-witted.

"Create a special key comb that presses L, R, A at the same time" L press only R press only A press only is a key combination to press them at the same time right? Before I was just asking to verify if thats correct. I set it as this and still have problems.

Why don't you just map all three buttons to one key for three seconds and then change it back to whatever you've got it configured as after this sequence?

No, that would just be too difficult.

Here's a simple key comb just for that stupid switch. Someone shrink it, store it, and quote it for future posterity because it is stupidly EASY if you use your brain. Just in case, YES I DID TEST IT OUT ON THAT L+R+A SWITCH AND IT WORKS.
